“Deputies were dispatched after receiving a complaint regarding the welfare of a child due to possible drug activity,” Myers said Wednesday in a news release. “Deputies located three plastic containers containing crystal methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia inside the home.”

Myers said a 1-year-old, who was inside the apartment at the time of the arrest, was placed with family members by the Department of Children & Family Services.

Elliot and Droddy were charged with drug possession, drug use in presence of juveniles, child endangerment and possession of drug paraphernalia. Elliot, who was also charged with obstruction of justice, was released Tuesday after posting a $3,000 bond. Droddy remained in jail Wednesday on a $2,500 bond.
